A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Bees live in their natural environment. They don’t have a separation between work and play, because their brains are engaged in the same world they evolved for. And if they don’t have brains whatever.

Humans have “work” because we don’t live in the environment our motivational systems evolved for.

This is all laid out clearly in Genesis 1.6. When you go to close a project that has issues it prompts you about what steps you took. This is because the creators knew we aren’t naturally evolved to handle working with text based interfaces.

Tell me more about this "Genisis 1.6"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Genesis 1.6 is where person goes when they want to find order. The order is described in words that hang in a black darkness. It is a window into the past, though it can provide insight into the problems of the present.
